Polyken 100D Premium Double Coated Carpet Tape

Product Description

Polyken 100D Premium Double Coated Carpet Tape is a high-quality all-cotton cloth tape coated on both sides with a rubber adhesive. The cloth's high thread count gives added thickness and strength. Double-sided cloth tape is used for carpet hold down and mounting and is designed for residue-free removal. Outperforms paper or film-backed tapes due to superior strength and backing thickness (excellent performance on irregular surfaces). It comes on a heavy weight, silicone-coated, polyethylene film release liner (allows for easy unwind and resists splitting or tearing as it is pulled away from the tape). As a comparison, Polyken 100D does everything Polyken 105C does but can also hold things vertically (like plastic sheeting for asbestos abatement). Low VOC content and can contribute toward satisfying EQ Credit 4.1 (Low Emitting Materials) under LEED®.

Uses & Applications

Used for carpet hold-down for conventions or on aircraft (replaces tack strips).

For adhering area rugs and carpet runners on to existing carpeting.

Hanging and seaming polyethylene sheets for construction, abatement and painting; and heavy tarps for outdoor protection.

Temporary holding applications for industrial use.

Securing garment to pallet in lieu of spray adhesive in screen printing.

* Multiple cases may be shipped per package in order to minimize the charge for shipping.

Custom widths may be availableThis tape often comes to us as full log rolls (not pre-cut) so it may be possible to cut the tape to a width not shown in the pricing table below. Also note that since this tape comes in log roll format most rolls will ship on a plain white core. Please use the 'Contact Us' page to inquire about a price and any minimum requirements for this tape in a custom width.

item offered in 7 variations; most popular is 2 in. x 36 yds. (Natural) see table below for all sizes

** Adhesive tape products are NOT guaranteed to be splice-free. Sizes shipped will typically be the tape industry standard metric-cut sizes, i.e. 24mm for each 1 inch of nominal tape width ordered (rolls are approximately 5% narrower than the nominal size). Please contact us to inquire about pricing for full-cut widths; e.g. a 6 inch roll cut to 152mm instead of 144mm.

Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).

natural rubber

Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.

acrylic

Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.

silicone

Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.

zinc oxide

Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.
